The Lies We Leave Behind

By: Noelle Salazar

Narrated by: Xe Sands, Patrick Zeller

“Noelle Salazar has an unerring instinct for writing tough women with big hearts . . . The Lies We Leave Behind is a globe-spanning wartime journey filled with pathos and heart!” —Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code

For fans of Kate Quinn and Beatriz Williams, this sweeping story follows a fearless nurse who must leave love behind when duty calls her back to the front.

Somewhere in the Pacific, 1943. Kate Campbell is a nurse who bravely flies back and forth from the front to rescue wounded soldiers, amid long days, harsh conditions and often dangerous weather. Driven by a deep personal need to help in the war effort, she is conflicted when an injury results in her reassignment to the relative comfort of the English countryside.

Love has never been part of her plan, but despite herself, she falls for an officer with three bullet wounds, startling blue eyes and a wicked sense of humor. For the first time, Kate sees a future far from the horrors of war and hate. But before she can pursue it, a secret from her past calls her to duty, and she'll have to travel back into danger one more time to rescue a part of herself she'd left behind. But will she make it back? And will that future still be waiting for her if she does?

Heartbreaking yet uplifting

Story was great. Didn’t want to put it down! Love all of the nonfiction woven into the storyline as well. This author has yet to disappoint!
Loved the narration as well

The story of Kate, the flight nurse.

I didn't like the male voice of Williams daughter and granddaughter. Why didn't you get a female voice for them?

The author brought to life the characters and their roles in wartime.

excellent story about the ravages of war. we'll written and a super emotional roller coaster. Excellent narrator.

Great twist on a WWII novel.

It was a little slow in the very beginning but then it was like a page turned! Wanted to know what was next!
